"What's the name of the word for the precise moment when you realize that you've actually forgotten how it felt to make love to somebody you really liked a long time ago?"
"There isn't one."
"Oh. I thought maybe there was."

Have I mentioned how much I hate reading Post-Colonialist? Said had some good points you are proving why his school of thought gets ridiculed now though. No calling people like Fukuyama and Huntington Israeli propagandist is not a good attack on their ideas. No there isn't some mass conspiracy against the Arab Spring countries. Your rambling has not been a productive use of my time to read.

The sad truth is that no one is so important that a world altering event, good or bad, couldn't conceivably happen without them. So its kind of a bullshit argument to suggest we'd have a cancer cure by now if only we hadn't aborted the baby that would grow up to be the scientist that cracks it.

Anyone who thinks like that needs to get their head out of wonderland and back to reality.

If JK Rowling had been aborted, who would've written Harry Potter?

An infinite number of monkeys?

Kinda stretching the limit of 'world altering' to talk about a kinda good crazy popular series of young adult novels, no?

"World altering" events are emergent properties of large numbers of smaller, individual events, which abortion or completion of a pregnancy are a part of. C'est la vie.

say someone tries to illegally cross the mexican border. they run into ICE agents or whatever and are caught. they don't put up any violent resistance.

are there any consequences for that? i mean, i know oftentimes people are held in detention centers or whatever if they're not contiguous to where they're from- coming into florida from cuba, or being deported from kansas or whatever.

but if you're like, right there at the border, caught red handed, is there a 'punishment'? or do they just boot you back over the border.

If you have crossed you are taken in, processed charged and deported. They want records of your illegal crossing so they can stop you if you try to cross legally to ask questions.

I am the mother to Odin's stallion, Sleipnir. I am the father of Fenrir sun-eater and of Hel half-rotted and of Jormungund the world-serpent. I am Loki Scar-Lip, Loki Skywalker, Loki Giant's Child, Loki Lie-Smith. I am Loki, who is fire and wit and hate. I am Loki. And I will be under an obligation to no one.

Bethryn, I worry that your taking glee in the misfortune is becoming a dark habit.

Schadenfreude is my middle name (thankfully not).

Actually, I attempted to evade mechaniacl justice and start a resistance movement using images of the banned word. Geth learnt quickly. But the human spirit is not so easily broken, Geth. We'll get you yet.
